Heamoor

Formerly a secondary settlement of the village of Madron, Heamoor is situated approximately one-and-a half kilometres (just over a mile) northwest of Penzance town centre.

Heamoor has a number of shops, The Sportsman's Arms pub, The British Legion and Scout group as well as several community facilities.

The reason for the moor was the poor drainage which in turn was due to the outcrop of a Felsite dyke (this rock is also called 'elvan' in Cornwall) that can be seen forming the ridge where Poltair woods abuts onto the road leading from Heamoor to Trengwainton.

Following the war the Scout Hut was rebuilt in Bolitho Road, behind the British Legion, and named the Venning Hall.

The floor is raised at the rear of the chapel, giving an uninterrupted view and the new seats are made of pitch pine and laid out in the amphitheatre style.
